Altium 20 introduced a major change to the way libraries are managed. All of our libraries now live in the cloud, and there are no files on your computer associated with the libraries. You can still read this page, but it's an artifact at this point, so don't take it as truth. We are working on updating the Wiki, but for now ask in {{slack-channel|altium}} if you have trouble making parts in the library, or want help.
This article describes how to create a new part in SSI's Altium PCB component libraries. SSI maintains a collection of Altium component libraries, many of them derived from libraries generously donated to SSI by the [http://solarcar.stanford.edu/ Stanford Solar Car Project]. This is designed to serve as both a reference, and a practical guide for how to turn a component with a datasheet into a schematic symbol with a corresponding PCB footprint.
